5 05. The Turmoil (3).

Blood Butterfly Fortress

Ruthless's pov.

A maid removes my dark red cloak as I sink into the soft cushioned seat comfortably while my trusted subordinates follow her to her desk.

My precious muscles ache, that mission is really killing me.

All heads bowing.

" Our losses are not great this time but if this happens again, all of you do not have to open your eyes anymore, yeah?" I fidget with a dagger casually, ignoring the ache.

"Two days later, Beng Gong will return back to Southern Lasombra, make sure you are more careful, Beng Gong shall not tolerate mistake."

" Yes, Your Bloodiness." Their voices firm and sure.

After they have retreated from my study, I throw the dagger behind me, hearing a dull thud, I know I have hit my aim and start revising the information booklet.

The booklet is from Infina, my trusted subordinate specialising in information sources, such as the imperial court's current situation and the harem' s news and little information all around.

As you know, my father, Aron Quint, has many children and consorts. I giggle at that thought, my father, now that's amusing, he just donated one sperm and BAMM, he got crowned with "Ruthless's father", he must have saved the entire galaxy to deserve that.

Highest ranking in the harem obviously Queen Cordelia, my mother.

Second: Noble Consort Diana, the First Prince, Prince Ethan, Fourth Princess, Princess Bertha, and Sixth prince, Prince Lilando's mother.

Diana Dong is the granddaughter of a powerful general, Grand General Damien Dong.

Her father is the Finance Minister, Alvin Dong, in charge of the money of the country. Dong family is a new uprising family yet holds one of the Tiger Tally that controls a legion of around 10 thousand soldiers.

Diana Dong is cruel and evil but loves Aron and her children very much with the exception of Lilando. Ethan, 20 years old, has no speciality other than a good background. Bertha, 16 years old, is seen as a spoilt brat, and Diana hates Lilando for some reason who is skilful and clever and trusted by Aron.

Third: Consort Chanel, Second prince, Prince Stephan, and Fifth Princess, Princess Clarita 's Mother.

Chanel Chenked is born to Will Chenked, who is Duke Chenked, and Chloe Victoria. Chenked family is a family of politicians with a long history and deep fundamentals in the court. Chloe Victoria is the sister of Marquis Victoria, which gives Chanel a higher value.

Chanel is a gentle woman but not dumb and her son, Stephan, 18 years old, is an excellent general and greatly welcomed by the people and follows by the side of Chief Commander Larette. Clarita, 15 years old, is well known for her dancing skills but she has been sick and has a weak body.

Fourth: Consort Ria, once a prostitute and whose body was loved by Aron but no longer able to reproduce. However, she is especially sly and smart.

Fifth: Noble Concubine Hazel: Third Prince, Prince John, and Second Princess, Princess Eva's Mother.

Hazel Sidar comes from the Sidar family. Sidar family is of businessmen and is very rich.

Sidar family is one of the richest families in the whole of Southern Lasombra. Hazel is the only daughter of Husen Sidar, the master of the family so she was well pampered and loved by the family.

Hazel is naive and often used by Noble Consort to do her bidding and used by Aron to get money from her family.

Princess Eva, 17 years old, is evil and very deceitful, she acts to be gentle and many people believe, she has good literature and harp playing so she is likeable among the rich and Aron.

Prince John, 16 years old, is sly and smarter than his sister, quite well trusted by Aron too.

And many other more but they are those more competitive and of higher ranking in the harem.

I finish swiftly, after all, Ruthless Lasombra does have the brains to memorise everything in one glance and move on to settle my reports and memorials.

Yuck, paperwork.

Blood Butterfly does any business as long as you pay enough money and they had never failed.

Consists of 3 levels, Blood Butterfly is very strict with their followers.

There is a Beginner's level where you will be trained 5 years by the Mentors and 2 years of gaining experience, receiving simple tasks.

Middle's Level when you can mentor some beginners and be mentored by Elites and other Mentors and taking higher-level missions, all for 2 years.

Elite Level where you can take any levels of mission and mentor the juniors.

However there were very strict rules, they cannot reveal any information without permission to anyone, and betrayers will be tortured to death.

Eventually, the popularity of Blood Butterfly spread and becomes the most powerful association tied with Raise Moon Palace.

I quirk my eyebrow, remembering that old arrogant jerk, the master of Raise Moon Palace, humph, they are maybe just a little bit better than us, I guess.

Southern Lasombra...

Wait for the flames to erupt.

Because your princess is coming.
